What I Watched Today

(rambling, random thoughts & annoyingly detailed recaps from real time TV watching)

General Hospital

Jordan tells Cameron, put the gun down. More cops run in behind her, and she tells them, stand down. She says she’s going to lower her gun, and her eyes never leave Cameron’s as she does. She says, now it’s his turn. Put the gun down.

Elizabeth leaves a message for Cameron, saying she needs to know where he is; it’s important. Finn says he’s sure Cameron is fine.

In an alleyway, the fake janitor backs up, and Cyrus comes toward him, saying, it was two trained men against one unarmed woman. How did she get away? Janitor that isn’t says, he told Cyrus. He and the other guy had Britt, dead to rights, in her office. All of a sudden, Jason shows up, gets the jump on them, and Jason and Britt take off. Other guy went after them. Cyrus says, and…? and pretend janitor says, Jason had a car and driver waiting. Other guy ran right into an ambush. Cyrus asks why Jason isn’t dead, but un-janitor says he doesn’t know. He’ll find out. Cyrus says, you know what’s unfortunate? He puts his hand on not a janitor’s shoulder and says, that they didn’t shoot him too. He takes out a switchblade, and phony janitor becomes dead phony janitor.

Brick and Britt help Jason to a bed in a safe house, and Jason says he’s good. Britt says, no, he’s not. She’s the doctor, he’s the patient; she gets to say when he’s good. Brick says, she told you, and Britt tells Brick that she needs medical supplies. He opens the door, nearly running into Carly on her way in. She says, thank God. She wasn’t sure if they got away or not. He says, it was close, and there’s a complication. He steps aside, and she goes over to Jason, who’s bleeding like a stuck pig.

Jordan tells Cameron to look at her. That’s right. It’s over now. Lower his arm, and let her take his gun. She knows he’s nervous, but she needs him to nod his head so she knows he heard what she just said. He nods, and she says, that’s great. He’s doing a great job. Now lower the gun. Cameron slowly lowers it as she walks toward him, and she quickly takes it, saying, all clear. The cops move in, and one puts handcuffs on Cameron. He asks, what’s going on? and she says he’s under arrest. He says he didn’t do anything, and she says he has the right to remain silent. He repeats, he didn’t do anything, and she says, listen to what she’s telling him; it’s for his own protection. He looks like he might cry, and says again that he didn’t do anything, and she says louder, listen. He says, okay, and calms down somewhat. She reads him his rights, but she sounds like she’s way in the background of his comprehension. She asks if he understands what she just told him, and he says, yes.

Carly says, there’s so much blood, but Jason says, it’s not that bad. Britt says, it’s very bad. She needs that bag. Brick leaves to get it, and Carly asks, what happened? Britt says, what does she think happened? Other guy pulled a gun, and shot Jason. Carly says, what went wrong? Brick was in the car waiting for him. He got there, but then went back in. Why? Britt says, he went back to save her.

At the MetroCourt bar, Mac tells Dante, the PCPD is really in need of manpower right now. Valerie is testifying in a case that just keeps dragging on (yeah, it’s called The Haves and The Have Nots), and she wants to transfer to forensics. Chase is dealing with this mystery illness, and is laid up at GH. They could use him under any circumstance, but right now, it’s crucial. Dante says he’s flattered Mac is pulling out all the stops for him, but he’s been gone a long time, and after what happened to him, he doesn’t think he can be the cop that Mac thinks he is. Mac says he understands what Dante has been through, but according to what he’s heard from Robert and Anna, his treatment was successful. He’s fit to return to duty. Dante says he’s glad they still believe in him, and Mac says, but Dante has his doubts. Dante says after the last couple of years, of course (🍷) he does. Mac says they all have doubts in their abilities at some point in life. They’re a half-step slower than when they were younger; that’s just life. Dante gets Mac’s point, but says his situation is a little more complicated than that. Mac says Dante has always had great instincts, and understands the job; and he’s always done it with integrity. He really needs Dante back on the force. They hear Obrecht toasting to savoring the pleasures of the unexpected. They look over to see her with Scotty, and Mac wonders if they’re dating.

Obrecht tells Scotty, it seems their presence is causing something of a commotion, and Scotty says, who cares about them? He’s free, and has nothing to hide. She flashes back to the first time they were together, and says, what a change. Neither does she.

On the phone in the kitchen, Brando says he’ll meet Cyrus downstairs. He gets in the elevator, and Sasha is there. He says it’s a nice surprise. Where’s she headed? She says she was just there for a doctor’s visit, and he asks if she’s okay. She says she is, but she doesn’t want to talk about it. He says, okay. He thought that after the other night… He’s sorry. He didn’t mean to pry.

Willow thanks someone, and hangs up the phone. She tells Chase that there’s no more active shooter. That was scary. You’re supposed to feel safe in a hospital, right? Apparently, she’s never checked into GH, whose safety rating is F minus-minus. Chase tries to get out of bed, and Willow asks where he thinks he’s going. He says, it’s an emergency. He’s a cop. He needs to get back to work. She says, he will – she pushes him back down on the bed – when he’s better. He says he’s feeling tons better. He hates this. When is he going to get his life back?

Jason asks if he made it in time for the meeting of the Five Families thin crust pizza, and Carly says, there’s a few hours before the meeting. How long does Britt need to patch him up? Britt says, he needs more than a patch, and Jason says they can do it tomorrow. She says, is he crazy? This is more than a temporary fix. If she doesn’t close his wound, he’s going to bleed to death.

Brick brings a medical bag, and she says, good. She thought she was going to have to rely on a first aid kit. He says, successful operations need to be prepared. Jason tells Brick that he’s okay, and Carly says, he’s not okay, but he’s going to be. Jason passes out, and Britt tells Carly that she needs to stay calm. She asks Brick to assist her, and tells Carly to keep pressure on Jason’s wound. If he regains consciousness, do not let him get up. Carly tells Jason, he’s better off. Britt is going to have to operate, and she doesn’t think there’s anything in the bag to kill the pain. Didn’t Brick just say they were prepared? Not so successful after all. Carly guesses she wants him to stay passed out. He needs to make it. She doesn’t think she can go on without him. Britt puts surgical gloves on, and Carly says this is on Britt. She has to save Jason.

Mac says, the way he sees it, he and Dante both benefit. Dante gets a job, and he gets a top-notch detective that he can trust. He understands having to walk away from police work. When he and Felicia bought The Floating Rib, he thought he was walking away from law enforcement. For guys like them, police work is in their blood; it’s who they are. Dante says Mac makes a compelling argument, but he just… Mac says he’s not asking Dante to make a decision right now. Just think about it. Dante agrees, and Mac’s phone rings.

Jordan tells Mac, she’s at GH in the parking garage; there’s been a shooting. He says, any fatalities? and she says, only one so far. He says he’s ten minutes out, and she says he needs to prepare himself; it’s a sensitive situation. He says, in what way? and she says, the shooter is Cameron Webber. He says, copy that. He’s on his way. He tells Dante, there’s been a shooting at GH, one fatality. He knows Dante hasn’t decided on rejoining the force, but it’s a delicate situation. He could use the back-up. Dante says, whatever he needs, and they leave.

Sasha asks how Brando has been, and he says, good. At least he thought he was. Is this about the other night? Is she having regrets? She says, not at all. It was… memorable. She’s just really distracted by her appointment. Can they talk another time? He says, sure, and the elevator stops. She gets out, and starts walking, but Cyrus says, Ms. Gilmore, lovely as always. She says, Mr. Renault. She’d say it was a pleasure to see him, but she’s had to give up lying as part of her recovery. Cyrus says that was a terrible moment when she hit rock bottom. He so admires her for climbing her way back. Don’t forget that he’s always there to offer a helping hand, or anything else she might need. She says, no thanks, and walks away. Cyrus tells Brando, call Brown, and tell him there’s a mess to clean up in the alley on four. Then get in touch with the warehouse, and make sure we’re on schedule for tonight. He has a tragedy to attend to. He and Brando leave, and Sasha doubles back, getting into the elevator.

Brick cuts Jason’s shirt, exposing the wound, and Britt prepares the wound for surgery.

Jordan tells Cameron that she’s sure his mother will be there soon. Elizabeth runs in with Finn, and sees dead other guy. She says, oh my God, what’s going on? And why is her son in handcuffs? Cameron swears it was a big mistake. He didn’t do it. Jason did.

Jordan tells Elizabeth that she’s advised Cameron of his Miranda rights. Anything he says can be used against him, so it’s better for him if she explains. Elizabeth asks what there is to explain, and Jordan says, Jason escaped tonight, and took Britt as a hostage. They think he was being pursued be this individual. She indicates other guy, and says, he was dressed as a hospital janitor. They’re pulling security footage and will piece together a timeline of events. What they do know is, shots were fired. Cameron flashes back to telling Jason that he wanted to see the man Jake believes in, but he can’t. All he sees is the person who killed Franco. Elizabeth asks what Jordan is doing with her son, and Jordan says when she arrived on the scene, Cameron had a gun, pointing straight at her. There was gunpowder in the air, and shots had been fired; one man is dead. She has to arrest Cameron. Cameron swears he didn’t do it. All he did was pick up the gun. Finn says, stop. Don’t say another word.

Britt asks for medical stuff, and does medical stuff to Jason. Brick assists, while Carly holds Jason’s head.

Chase says Willow has a pretty good bedside manner. He’s going to have to watch his back after she becomes a nurse. Her patients are going to fall in love with her like he did. She says his weakened state has made him sappy, and he says, chalk it up to one more unexplained symptom. He has no idea what’s making him sick. Why? Finn is supposed to be a research genius, and can’t figure it out. The only thing that makes sense is being with her. Loving her is the only thing he’s sure of.

Britt stitches up the wound. Carly frets. Brick takes notes (just kidding).

Finn tells Jordan that Cameron is traumatized by whatever happened, and asks if the handcuffs are necessary. She says she’s afraid so. Shots were fired, and Cameron was discovered holding the gun. Finn tells her, Cameron said didn’t fire it, and she says, the security footage will back him up. She understands he’s been placed in a chaotic situation, and might have acted without realizing it. She tells the officer to take Cameron to a quiet spot. Another cop calls to her to check out some blood on the garage floor, and Jordan says she needs a tech. She puts on gloves, and tells the tech to take a sample. See if it’s a match for Jason Morgan. Elizabeth makes a call.

Carly says Jason doesn’t look good, and he feels clammy. Britt asks if Jason’s hands are cold, and Brick says, very cold. Britt says Jason is going into hypovolemic shock, and they’re running out of time. She tells Brick to cut the thread, and digs through the medical bag. Carly asks what she’s looking for, and Britt says blah-blah-blah some piece of medical equipment. Jason needs a transfusion. They need to get as much O-negative blood in him as possible. Carly tells the guard to get some blood at the hospital, but Britt says, unless it’s next door, it’s not soon enough. They need it right now. Carly says, then use her. Give Jason her blood.

Elizabeth says she got ahold of Scotty, and he’s on his way. Cameron says he didn’t do anything; he didn’t even fire the gun. Why does he need a lawyer? Finn says, the security footage will prove that, but in the meantime he needs a layer to protect his rights. Elizabeth asks Cameron to explain what happened. Why is he there? He says he wanted Jason to admit he killed Franco. He wanted Jason to say the actual words, but Jason wasn’t in his room. The guard was on the floor, and he didn’t know if the guard was dead or what. Jason did it; he killed Franco. That’s why he ran. Elizabeth looks at Finn.

Cameron says, after Jason ran, he followed Jason to the stairwell. He came down to the garage; people were shooting, and Jason was dragging Britt to the car. When the gunman was shot, he dropped his gun, and Cameron picked it up. Finn says, stop. He knows Cameron wants to get it all out, but he can’t say anything. Elizabeth tells him to wait for Scotty.   

Britt tells Carly to keep clenching her fist, so the blood will flow faster. She might get dizzy. Carly says, thank God she and Jason are compatible, and Britt says, and that she knew. How many times have she and Jason bled for each other? Carly flashes back to Sonny’s funeral, and Jason telling her, she’s dressed, standing, and she’s ready. She’s going to get through this because there’s no other option. Carly looks at Britt.

Scotty arrives with Obrecht, and tells Cameron, listen. Zip it, and let him do the talking. Obrecht goes over to Jordan, and says, excuse the interruption, but Scotty said Britt was involved. What does that mean? Jordan says, Cameron saw Jason dragging her to the car, and thinks she was kidnapped. Obrecht flashes back to asking Britt why she’s in danger, and Britt saying, all she knows is that she’s doing a favor for Jason. Obrecht tells Britt that she needs to get as far away from Jason as possible. Trouble and violence follow him like he’s a magnet. Britt says, Jason isn’t the problem. It’s the people who are after him who are dangerous, but Obrecht says, he’s like an Olympic bobsled run; hazardous under any conditions. But Britt won’t get a medal for surviving Jason.   

Carly tells Britt, she and Jason have been through a lot. Does she think this is going to work? Britt says his pulse is stronger, but she can’t give him a full transfusion. Carly’s guard still has to come through. She says, he will. Sonny’s men are extremely loyal to Jason, because he’d do the same for them. Right, Brick? Brick says, ten times over. We watch as the blood flows through the tube into Jason.

Sasha asks if Chase would like company, and he says, sure. She tells him that she was at the hospital, and thought she’d check up on him while she was there. How’s he feeling? He says, not bad for a guy who can’t hold a glass of water. Sasha asks what he means, and Willow says, Chase has neuropathy which makes it hard for him to hold things. Sasha says she’s sorry; she didn’t realize. What caused it? Chase says, he wishes he knew, and Willow says, Finn and the doctors are working hard, but so far there’s been no diagnosis. Chase says, Finn found a partial treatment, and he’s better… kind of. Sasha says he must be frustrated, and Willow says, he’s been strong. Sasha says that doesn’t surprise her, and Chase says he had help. There’s no way he could have done it without Willow. She’s been an absolute rock. Her being there made all the difference.

Mac comes into the garage, and says he canvassed the 10th floor and the stairwells, but there’s no evidence of additional gunfire. Any word on the victim? Jordan says, he was working at the hospital with false credentials. Dante joins them and says Britt’s office is trashed. If she was taken against her will, she put up a hell of a fight. Cyrus arrives, and asks what they’re doing to find his Chief of Staff. Jason has escaped, a member of the staff is dead, and Britt is gone; it’s terrible PR for the hospital. Jordan says, he’s not upset; she’s not surprised. He tells her, he didn’t say that, and she didn’t answer his question. Britt’s safety is of paramount importance to him.

Jordan assures Cyrus that she’ll focus on Britt, and asks about the janitor with the false ID. He says he’s sure HR could give her a better explanation than he can. He sees Obrecht, and says he promises he’ll use his full resources to find her daughter. If she speaks to Britt before he does, please ease his mind and let him know. Obrecht says, he’ll be her first call. He leaves with Brando, and Obrecht says, but if Britt has been harmed, I’ll cut your heart out, schwein.

Finn apologizes for interrupting, but says he needs to check Chase’s vitals. Chase asks if Sasha and Willow would mind stepping out. He needs to talk to his bro… Finn. Willow says, of course (🍷), and Sasha tells Chase, hang in there. Finn says Willow has been spending a lot of time with Chase, and Chase says, she has. He’d like to spend the rest of his life with her, anywhere other than the hospital. Be honest. What is Finn doing to get him out?

Willow asks what Sasha is doing at the hospital, and Sasha says she had a doctor’s appointment, and wanted to pop in on Chase. When she walked in, she could see that he and Willow are really back together. It gave her hope that things can really work out. Willow asks if Sasha is doing okay, and Sasha says she’s fine, maybe a little introspective. She and Michael are over, and it’s for the best, but in spite of that, Willow and Chase are chase making it work. Seeing the spark in his eyes when he’s so sick is an inspiration. Willow says she’s helping any way she can, but it’s hard watching Chase struggle. Sasha says, Chase has always been physically active. She knows how scared he must be. Knowing Willow and Chase ended up together, where they belong, is a reminder that good things happen. They deserve to happy.

Scotty tells the officer guarding Cameron that the Commissioner gave him time to talk to his client in private. The officer leaves, and Scotty says, first, Cameron admitted to picking up the gun. Never admit to anything without his lawyer present. Don’t even comment on the weather. And don’t bring up Jason. Cameron says he made mess, huh?

Obrecht tells Jordan that yesterday, Britt pulled her aside, and said she was getting pressure from Cyrus that made her a target. She advised Britt to stay away, and stay safe. Jordan asks if Britt told her what it was about, and Obrecht says, no, but Britt and Jason are missing, and Cyrus is offering up his lousy fake tears. Whatever happened, he’s behind it. For once, she’s on Jordan’s side. Bring that schwein to justice. Jordan sees Dante, and asks if he rejoined the force, but he says, no ma’am. Mac says he asked Dante to ride along; a test run if he comes back. Jordan hopes he decides to stay. Obrecht just told her that Britt said she was being pressured by Cyrus. She’s convinced Cyrus is behind what happened. Mac says, maybe Britt isn’t a hostage. They’ll find out from GH security. One of the cops hands Jordan an envelope, and she tells him that she needs the footage. She takes a paper out of the envelope, and Mac asks what it is. She says, the blood on the garage floor matches what they have on file for Jason. Scotty tells Cameron, take a deep breath. He’ll be fine. Mac tells Jordan, Cameron denies firing the gun, but she says, he knows how it goes. Cameron was panicked and disoriented. He may have pulled the trigger without realizing it.

Scotty tells Cameron that he wasn’t much of a father to his kids, but Franco fixed that. It’s not Cameron’s fault. He was shortchanged in the father department until Franco came along. Cameron says he doesn’t understand, and Scotty says, Franco was a stand-up guy who helped Cameron, and that’s what he’s going to do; stand up and help Cameron. Cameron thanks him, and Scotty says, next time Cameron has the impulse to do something stupid that will ruin his life, call him first, not later. Got it? Elizabeth says, he’s got it, right? Cameron says, he’ll call Scotty first.  

Carly asks how Jason is, and Britt says she thinks it’s working; he’s warming back up. Carly says, thank God, and Britt says she’s welcome. Carly tells Brick that she has to go home and change for a meeting. He says if she needs back-up, he’s available, but she says Jordan saw him at the hospital. She knows he’s involved. He says, so what? He’s not scared of a bunch of jurors, but she says, it’s a meeting. Everyone will be on their best behavior. Brick needs to handle the thing they discussed earlier, and then get out of town. He asks if she’s sure she still wants him to do it, and she says, hell yeah. They’ve got it coming.

Sasha says when she and Chase decided to push Michael and Willow together so they could get custody of Wiley, they knew it would be painful. They thought they were prepared, but she’s never seen anyone more heartbroken than Chase when he lost Willow. He’s a good guy, and all he wants is the best for Willow. Willow says it’s what she wants for Chase too. Sasha says, it mostly worked out. Willow and Michael are Wiley’s parents, and Chase will get better. He and Willow can finally build a life together. Willow smiles.

Finn says he knows Chase is climbing the walls, and knows how frustrating it can be, but look on the bright side. Chase says, other than Willow, there is no bright side, but Finn says he found a treatment. Chase says he’s grateful for all he can get. He has less pain, but he’s not well. It’s a treatment, not a cure. Finn says, yet, and Chase asks what Finn means. Is he going to be living at GH indefinitely? Finn says he’s doing everything in his power to make Chase better, and won’t stop until he does.

Mac says, Jason was wounded, but they have no idea how badly he’s hurt. It’s not clear if Britt was a hostage or a wiling accomplice. He’s sure Cyrus and his men will be out there looking for Jason, trying to find him before they do. Dante says, if Cyrus finds Jason before they do, Cyrus will kill him, and Mac’s questions remain unanswered. No one knows more about Sonny’s organization, or where Jason may be hiding out, than Dante. Is he up for the job? Dante says he’s not willing to commit past this job, but yes, and Mac says, all he asks is that Dante bring Jason back alive.

Jordan says, they’ve confirmed the blood at the crime scene is Jason’s, and tells Elizabeth, Cameron was discovered with a gun in his hand. She has to take him in for processing. Elizabeth says, he never fired that gun, and Jordan says, they’ll see what the evidence shows, in the meantime, Elizabeth and Scotty can meet them at the station. Elizabeth tells Cameron, it will be okay, but he looks pretty scared.

Britt reaches for something, and her hand shakes. Jason stirs, and she says his name. She asks if he can hear her, and he removes the oxygen mask. He asks, where’s Carly?

At the meeting of the Five Families olive oil, one of the members says, time for the meeting to start, and Cyrus walks in. He says, here he is, on time, and assures them he always will be. He addresses Miss Wu, Mr. Novak, and Mr. Bashima. He appreciates them extending an invitation to his first meeting of the family heads. (Otherwise known as the Five Families ravioli with meat sauce.) He says, shall we begin? The door opens, and we see a pair of righteous high heels walk through. Carly says, not so fast, and removes her white coat, revealing a sophisticated white dress. She says, now we can begin.

Frankly, I always thought Carly would be better at running the organization. God knows, she’s more ruthless than Sonny.

Tomorrow, Britt asks if Jason thinks he said too much, Josslyn asks if there are any details, and Carly tells Cyrus she’s calling the shots now and he doesn’t want to make himself a target.

🗽 On the season premiere of The Real Housewives of New York City, we saw New York City as it was on March 1, 2020, compared to October 1. Protocols were in place by the time they’d started filming. Leah was in a new apartment. I thought of my first apartment, which was in Manhattan. It could probably fit in Leah’s kitchen. And don’t get me started on the smallest closet in the world, which was also triangular, or the antique refrigerator. Leah also got a new fur baby, and Chihuahua named Angel, who was extremely cute. Leah was in the process of converting to Judaism. During a video chat with her father, asking forgiveness as she went into the Jewish New Year. Her father asked if Angel wasn’t Mexican, and she said, yes, and he told her, then the dog is Catholic. I literally lol’d. Ramona and LuAnn were buddy-buddy, and bitched about Sonja being MIA. In Ramona’s interview, she said, when Sonja is feeling vulnerable, she hides, and claimed to know all about Sonja’s psychological makeup.

LuAnn also had a new apartment in the city, and acted all surprised that her view included Tom’s terrace. Leah summed it up best later on Watch What Happens Live, when she said, it’s your ex-husband you know where he lives. Leah met with new Wife Eboni for a walk in the park, and in Leah’s interview, she explained she met Eboni after she’d moved to her new neighborhood. She said Eboni was the epitome of Black Girl Magic; she’s a lawyer and a broadcaster, and has a podcast going on. Eboni asked if Leah had anything going on with her love life, and Leah said she and Pita Chip Guy didn’t work out, but they’d always be friends. In her interview, Leah said she’d sent a nakey photo to Pita Chip Guy, who in turn sent it to a friend, and (mistakenly, we assume) to her.

Sonja didn’t seem very vulnerable as she conferred with assistant #2003, and lounged around in a caftan from her clothing line, a prisoner of her townhouse until it got sold. She invited the girls over for lunch on her gorgeous patio, complete with a fountain and goldfish pond. In Sonja’s interview, she told us, Sonja is on Sonja time, and never ready for the guests, but everything else is always ready for the guests. She felt like she’d had the rug pulled out from under her, since she’d just gotten her big Century 21 deal just before covid hit. LuAnn asked Leah to be her wingman, since she didn’t want to drink, and Leah was in not-drinking mode. When everyone asked where Sonja had been for the last several months, she said she’d been in the desert, but it wasn’t clear if she meant the Sahara, the Mohave, or she was mispronouncing dessert and had been busy eating her feelings. LuAnn invited everyone to her house in the Hamptons, and we saw a flash forward. Looks like there will be a lot of arguing.

Unlike RHONJ and RHOBH, I still enjoy the RHONY. They have their share of brawls, but they seem more genuine, and don’t create drama for drama’s sake. I don’t even think LuAnn and Ramona play to the cameras. I think they’d be divas if the cameras were rolling or not.

This season, a beauty pageant, Leah gives a lap dance, ice skating, burlesque, and is that Tiffany Pollard? Heather Thomas, arguments, Garth, Sonja dressed like a pilgrim, a trip to Salem, and a séance. Leah calls Heather a Karen, sketching a nakey guy, Leah calls everyone a ho (which caused me to go, here a ho, there a ho, everywhere a ho, ho, in my head), and Ramona wonders what happened to class?

🐎 I did catch one cool thing on The Real Housewives of Dallas. They had a murder mystery party at Southfork Ranch. The rooms were designed after various characters from the original Dallas TV series, and the women were able to stay there. I love a themed hotel. To negate the fun, Kary and Brandi managed to get drunk and destroyed the plexiglass in front of a JR display. The owner was very cool about it though. Not so much D’Andra, who Kary decided to throw in the pool, destroying three grand of accessories.

🥂 Yep, It Was…

Interesting pairing.

September 7, 2020 – Rerunning Violet’s Party, Ibiza on Deck, Reunion For a Cause, New York’s Brunch, the OC’s Return, and a Hurry

Standard

What I Watched Today

one life(rambling, random thoughts & annoyingly detailed recaps from real time TV watching)

 

General Hospital

Today’s GH was from April 14th, 2020. If it was Friends, it would be called The One Where Violet Has a Birthday Party.

Below Deck Mediterranean

Jess comes out of the water, and says her heart is palpitating bad. She sits, and Alex goes to get her some water. The brood of vipers Malia tells her to take deep breaths, and suggests a hot shower. Jess stands under the guest shower on deck, and Malia calls Captain Sandy, saying, there’s a medical issue with Jess; she’s having heart palpitations. The captain tells Malia to have Jess come see her. Rob asks if Jess is okay, and she asks if he’ll walk with her to the shower. he tells her everything is going to be okay.

At the O Beach closing party in Ibiza, Michelle straddles Aesha, pouring something from a plastic cup into Aesha’s mouth. In her interview, Aesha says Michelle has been trying to do everything to get alcohol in her. She’s not resisting much, but Michelle is strong.

Tom asks, what’s wrong with Jess? and Bugs says, she’s not feeling well. Rob tells Jess, clearly what he said made her anxious, and she’s putting on a show. A-hole. Jess gets dressed, and Captain Sandy calls her to the bridge to check things out. Jess tells her about the heart palpitations, and says that it freaked her out. She’s never had that before, but feels better now. The captain takes Jess’s blood pressure, and says she takes her own every day. She tells Jess, it’s 154/102. She’s not sure about the numbers, so she texts a friend who’s a cardiologist. In Captain Sandy’s interview, she says she had that issue, and the end result was a heart attack. She says, as captain, she wants to stay on this, and make sure Jess is okay. Jess says heart disease runs in her family, and the captain says, hers too; both of her parents died from heart attacks. In her interview, Captain Sandy says she was in a cycle class when it happened. She gets a text back, and her friend says Jess’s blood pressure is not that bad. Jess says she feels fine now. She thinks riding the jet ski was too much, and Captain Sand tells her to go and rest. Alex asks if Jess is feeling better. In Jess’s interview, she says the relationship is taking a physical toll on her. Her worst fear is to be completely vulnerable, fall in love, and have it deteriorate. She tells Rob that she’s going to lie down.

In Ibiza, acrobats fling themselves in the air, while dancing girls with headdresses shimmy through the crowd. Michelle puts her crotch in Johnny’s face, and in Aesha’s interview, she says, Johnny is f***ed. Back at the boat, Bugs puts up string lights, and decorates the table for the Great Gatsby themed dinner. She asks if Captain Sandy is joining the guests, and the captain says she is. Aesha radios, saying the guests are ready to come back, and Bugs tells Malia, who bangs her head on the ceiling getting out of her bunk. No surprise, I laugh. Bugs attaches sparkly suspenders to Alex’s pants, and discusses the menu with Tom. Alex picks up the guests, and Michelle says they need to make their way back to Great Gatsby. Johnny makes an attempt to bat at some balls Alex is throwing, and strikes out twice, but gets a hit on the third try. In his interview, Alex says Johnny is in a good state of mind. He’s wasted. Johnny says he’s the best two strike hitter in baseball.

The crew gets ready, the deckhands and Malia in sparkly suspenders with bowler hats, and the stews in flapper outfits. Bugs tells Jess that she doesn’t have to be on service, but Jess says, it’s okay. Alex takes a picture of Bugs, and tells her the table looks great. The guests get ready.

Tom puts an apron on Malia that has a picture of cats and says Mallorca on it. Why? Michelle says, the tablescape is out of this world, and Johnny toasts in Spanish, saying, health, love, money; long time the tree of fruit. He announces that kids are easier than dogs, since you can’t take dogs everywhere like you can with kids. Um… never mind. In Tom’s interview, he says, in the galley, you try to do everything right, so if the guests don’t like it, it’s hard because you’ve invested yourself. You want to wow people, and that’s what hurts. Bugs brings Johnny’s steak back to be cooked a little more, and I guess Tom must be hurting. Upon return though, Johnny pronounces it perfect. Michelle says the food is fabulous, and even Captain Sandy says it’s delicious. The captain asks if the food is hot, and Johnny squeezes Michelle’s boob. I’m not sure what that means. Is that a yes? Malia tells Rob that he can turn in early and get an extra hour. Jess says she’s on early shift too, and they cuddle. Jess is worried about how much things have been changing in the last few days. He says he’s sorry about today, and she says, her too. Aesha calls Bugs a sh*t stain, and says it’s a term of endearment, but Bugs isn’t so sure. In Aesha’s interview, she says she doesn’t see bantering much with this group. Johnny, Michelle, and Adena (the one who got drunk and hurt herself last week) dance on the couches. Michelle yells, Ibiza! for no particular reason. Aesha says, they’re so fun, and the guests toddle off to bed at around 2:30 am. Johnny lingers on deck, and finally goes to the cabin. He tells Michelle, they do need not to have more babies [sic].

The early shift is up at 7 am, except for Rob. Jess tells him, it’s 7:20, and he ends up being 23 minutes late. He asks if Alex is pissed off, and apologizes, but Alex says it’s okay. In Rob’s interview, he says, it’s not okay, because it transfers to someone else’s hours of rest time. Malia sees Jess and Rob kissing, but keeps walking. Jess does the breakfast table, and Malia grumbles, the boat looks like sh*t. Rob gets coffee, and Malia radios him, saying, seriously? What the hell? She tells him that she doesn’t want to come out and see him and Jess kissing when things aren’t done. The boat looks like absolute sh*t, and he’s asking for coffee.

Malia rants that the morning is the most critical time, so they can prep the area before the guests get up. She points out various chores on a list hanging up, and says the morning people have to bust ass. In Rob’s interview, he says he knows better, but got totally lost in his romance with Jess. He’s not thinking clearly. Tom cooks breakfast, and Bugs tells Jess that the table is pretty. Jess says she’s feeling better, and Bugs says the laundry is looking great too. In Bugs’s interview, she says, the more time you invest in someone, the better they do. She’s happy she’s taken the time with Jess. She tells Jess that she’s doing really, really well. In his interview, Rob says, there’s a lot of sh*t with him and Jess, and it’s affecting his work. It’s not okay. Bugs tells Captain Sandy that Jess is doing great this charter.

The captain calls Jess to the bridge, and says she sees her clothes hanging in her closet. She thanks Jess, and tells her that Bugs says she’s killing it. Jess thinks she was never allowed the time to do her job effectively, and now she’s realizing it. in her interview, she says a compliment from Bugs and Captain Sandy. Did she die today? She tells Malia that the captain called her up for a compliment. Rob hears, and asks if it’s her first one, and congratulates her. Jess admits the structure is better, and in her interview, says she’s doing better at her job, but her relationship is getting worse. Alex asks Bugs for coffee, and she says, a special treat for a special boy. Johnny says he slept too good on the boat. The guests are just getting to breakfast, and it’s an hour before they disembark.

Jess asks Rob if he’s in his head, and he says he doesn’t want to think too much anymore with them. They should understand one another. Jess says she won’t ask anymore, so don’t think she’s ignoring him. The guests pack, and the captain gets ready to dock. Rob keeps missing throwing the stern line out. In Malia’s interview, she says, it’s like amateur hour. Losing the stern line is a disaster.

In her interview, Malia says they’re docking terribly, and are going to look like absolute fools. Malia tells Rob to do it quickly, and in her interview, she says, Rob is killing her. She tells him, it’s not locked off, and he finally gets it. Malia tells Bugs, she’s about to lose her effing mind. Rob says, everyone is allowed to make mistakes; it’s a bit rude. Malia tells Alex, from now on, she needs him on whichever side is critical.

It’s time for the guests to say goodbye. Johnny says, it was incredible, and Michelle says the food and service were amazing. The last charter was good, but this was way better. Johnny gives the captain the tip envelope, and the guests leave. Captain Sandy tells the crew to get out of their whites, and into their reds. Malia wants to talk to Rob, and tells him that the stern is super critical when they’re coming in. Once is a mistake, but he did it three times. Then they had to hustle, correcting the time he took with the line. In his interview, Rob says he’s trying to be present in the situation with both Jess and the boat, and needs to compartmentalize better. While they’re cleaning the cabins, Jess asks what happened with Aesha’s last relationship? and Aesha says, it was the same situation as Jess is in. It had been years since she’d had a boyfriend. We flash back to her and Jack, and she tells Jess, when they got back, Jack went back to his ex. Jess asks if they were at the I love you stage, but Aesha says they weren’t even at the sex stage. In Jess’s interview, she says that’s probably why Aesha doesn’t have a boyfriend.

Captain Sandy tells the crew, well done. Having Aesha on board is like a breath of fresh air. She tells Jess that the laundry situation is better, and thanks her. She says the food was so good, she was blown away, and tells them, cheers. The tip was $18,000, or 1500 euros per person. They clink glasses, and Bugs thanks Tom for a great charter. Aesha poses the question to Jess, if she fell in love, and found out the guy had a micro-penis, would she still love him? Is she trying to tell us something about Jack? Jess says, of course. Rob asks Aesha if the main export of Tunisia is sarcasm, but she says she thinks it’s sheep, or wool, or something to do with farming. Jess tries to get Rob’s attention, but he’s too busy talking sheep or whatever, so she asks if Alex wants to go shopping on shore. In Alex’s interview, he wonders if Jess is jealous. Jess asks why Rob isn’t talking to her, and he says she was having a conversation with Alex. She says, he was having one with Aesha.

Jess asks if she can talk to Rob, and they go outside. She asks if he’s looking for things to get upset about at this point, and he says sorry he was caught up in conversation and so involved. He wonders if she feels threatened, and she tells him not to get mad. She was trying to figure out how to get him some clothes, and he was ignoring her. He says, sorry he wasn’t seeing that. He was in a conversation, and there was a time crunch. She asks, WTF is this? and he says he was in a surface conversation, detaching from everything that was happening. She says she doesn’t want to bring drama into his life, and she’s sorry she’s not bringing him detached fun conversation. Geez, how old are we? It shouldn’t be this hard, or dramatic.

Alex and Bugs go shopping in Old Port Ibiza. On the boat, Rob says Jess feels like arguing, and he doesn’t want to. She says sorry she’s not bringing fun conversation to his life. Malia and Tom fool around, and he asks if she wants to have a sunset drink. Alex tries on a shirt, and Bugs says she might have to date him if he wears it. On deck, Aesha calls her brother Jared, and tells him, most of the crew are Americans. They’re lovely, but last year, there was good banter. We flash back to that, and she says, this crew is harder to get going so far. Jared tells her, give it time, and she says they’re going out drinking. He tells her to have fun. The crew gets ready to go out.

Rob tells Jess that they need to try to get better at communicating, so this doesn’t happen. In his interview, he says he thinks there’s jealousy because he was having playful conversation with someone, but it doesn’t mean anything. They apologize to each other, and Rob asks if they’re good. Malia and Tom watch the sunset, and Tom says he thinks the more prepared he is, the more ready he is for the next trip. That makes it easier, or the standard of food goes up. The last boat he worked on had three chefs; it’s a big difference. In his interview, he says he’s never had so much stress. Being the sole chef makes it three times harder. Alex tells Bugs, he wants to have a good night, and Bugs says they have to. Bugs puts glitter around her eyes.

Bugs, says, Ibiza, baby, and Aesha says she’s excited to go out. In Aesha’s interview, she says she was told she had a good time in Ibiza, but doesn’t know for sure. They go to a restaurant, and Bugs tells Alex that she’s the boss. He says, no, and Malia says, let’s get f***ed up. They order, and a mime comes by, doing some kind of illusions with a ball. In her interview, Aesha wonders how he’s doing that. The ball is literally floating. WTF? The crew applauds, and Jess asks Alex if he remembers when they worked together, and she was talking about the sexy South African who was with another guy. She thinks it was Rob, and says, it’s crazy. Rob, who seems to have lost all sense of humor and whimsy, says he’s there now, and she says, sorry. She’s just piecing it together, and realized she had a conversation about him before she knew him. In his interview, Rob says she can’t expect him to remember everything. He’s not an elephant. She asks Rob to respect it a little, and he says he does; he’s here. In her interview, Aesha says it’s the stupidest sh*t she’s ever heard. If they’re fighting this early, no way is it going to last. It is really stupid. I’m not even sure what it is they’re fighting about exactly. I look in my bag of vanilla wafers, and decide if a cookie is broken, it doesn’t count.

Jess asks if he can respect that (what? what is he supposed to respect? I’m not getting this), and he says, he does; he’s there. She asks if they can stop arguing, and he says he’s not; he’s there. She asks him to stop making her feel like this, and I want them both to stop making me feel like changing the channel. In Jess’s interview, she says, stuff happened before she got there, and he’s missing her point. Bugs announces that she’s putting face paint on everyone, and puts glitter on them. They move on to more serious drinking. In the taxi, Malia tells Tom that she doesn’t know if Rob and Jess are the best match, and he says, they’re the worst match. Rob is spiritual. Malia says, Jess is sweet, but the background on her phone is herself. That’s rich, coming from someone so completely self-centered. Tom says, Rob’s is probably spring flowers or something. They get to a club, and Rob tells Alex that Jess is acting weird. Is it me? Rob seems like the one who’s acting weird.

Rob says he can’t do anything right, and Tom asks what the actual problem is. He says he doesn’t know, and Tom suggests he have some beers and chill out. Jess is circumspect, and goes off by herself, while everyone else gets crazy. Rob sticks a beer can to Aesha’s hand. In her interview, Jess says she’s annoyed. Now she has to watch Rob flirt with Aesha. What the hell? Alex tells Bugs that he’s really into her. He’s never met a girl who made him nervous. She asks why he’s nervous, but he can’t explain. She’s the first thing he thinks of in the morning, and the last thing at night. They’re both effing weirdos. They kiss, and everyone starts dancing. In his interview, Alex says, buh-bye, friend zone.

Rob says he doesn’t like how Jess is being hot and cold. Jess thinks he’s done, and just looking for an excuse. In Malia’s interview, she says, it sucks to go out with them. It changes the mood. Rob tells Jess that he changed his ticket to go to Bali, and to stop being hot and cold; she keeps doing this to him. In his interview, Rob says he feels broken, and I roll my eyes so hard, my sister in Ohio can feel it. He asks if Jess is mad, and she asks him to get out of her face. She’s done. He says, for f***’s sake, and tells Alex, I’m an idiot, bru. No argument from me.

Next time, a guest wants cucumbers when Tom is busy giving his cucumber to Malia, Tom gets nasty with Aesha for no reason, Alex tells Rob and Jess that they have to figure out if it was real or a moment that went too far, Rob says maybe he and Jess aren’t meant to be, and the boat loses power before docking.
